How hard is it to set one of these up? Do you need a computer set aside to run solely as a server? As you can probably tell im not very intellectually gifted when it comes to these, so. im interested in getting a too human forum set up. If even just for my sweet eyes . Toohuman.net is a giant clusterfuck with everything you could think of everywhere - with alot of stupid ideas in their thread make up.

So yea, how hard is phpBB to set up?

You need a computer with php and mysql. You need to create a mysql database, copy a folder, and put the mysql login in a config file. You could run it off your own computer, but that would mean leaving your computer on all the time and probably bad performance for users while you're gaming. If you plan for it to go anywhere, you're better off with a webhosting plan.

i dont do much gaming, and i never turn my computer off so that actually isnt a bad idea. Although webhosting would be ideal, im sure which costs some money yea? Is php and mysql something you could learn over a weeks time? given proper instruction

There's really no need to learn them, you just have to install them.

If you're looking for cheap and efficient, go through BlueHost.com ($6/mo.) - MySQL, php, Ruby on the Rails, blah, blah, blah

As far as phpBB goes, it's literally as easy as step 1, step 2, step 3, step etc.

Though, like WetWired said, you will have to create a database and know the information.

Username: ...
Password: ...
Database: ...

It's really pretty easy. I could host you on my server. The website url would be up to you, if you want a sub domain or buy a domain, not from Go Daddy, please.

I didn't say anything about taking anything away from Zelaron, I'm just saying if you want the same amount of members, advertise your ass off.

Yeah definately didn't say anything about that.

just figured that was what you were implying. but yea - idk how big id want it to be, just have to see how much information i can throw out, and how clean and efficient i can make it look. Clean + Easy to Navigate + Information Overload = a winning forum.

As I stated previously.

A) Buy a Domain on your own and change the DNS to point at my server ("YourSite.com" You have to pay a little bit-a money.)
B) I make a sub domain ("yoursite.MySite.com" Free for me and you)

The cost for a .com, .net or .org domain is generally in the $8 - $14 per year range.
